Felix


Felix Jones is a special player. He has excelled everywhere he has played. He attended Booker T Washington HS in Tulsa Oklahoma. All he did his senior year was rush for over 2200 yards with 48 touchdowns. He averaged 11.1 yards per attempt(YPA)

From there he went to the University of Arkansas and in three years there he averaged..12.5 YPA ..7.1 YPA and 11.1 YPA. He also returned four kickoffs for touchdowns.

He was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the first round and in his rookie year he averaged 8.9 YPA, before being injured. So far this season he has averaged 10.1 YPA..

On Sunday against the Carolina Panthers he strained a Posterior Cruciate Ligament(PCL). It is the ligament that protects the knee from bending backwards. It is usually strained by hitting the knee or bending it backward. Injuries of this type take about two weeks to heal. He is definately out against the Broncos. He may not play against the Chiefs. If not he has a bye week to heal. Then it is on against the Eagles.

He is a special player and here is hoping he returns a 100%. I hope they don't rush him back like last season.
